I just signed up with WeightWise this week. I meet with Dr. B, and think he's great. We are looking at a 90 day program before I can submit for insurance, so I'm hoping I'll have my surgery around spring break. I'm so happy to be with WeightWise. I started with another Dr. in June, and he had me on the 6 mo program, but come to find out he really had no program at all! When it came time for me to meet with him in October (with the plan to than set appts with the nut and psy) he canceled, and I found out he had quit the practice and I was on my own. I'm now having to start over, but thankfully it's only 3 more months not 6. I think I'll be much better prepared this way. I love that WeightWise seems to have such a comprehensive program.

I am from Oklahoma City and I went to Mexico to have my surgery which was 8/31/12. I went to Dr Alvarez. www.endobariatric.com The cost was $8700 and included 2 night hotel stay and 2 nigh 3 day in hospital. He is an awesome Dr. I have lost 64 lbs since surgery. Have had absolutely no complications. I went there because my insurance would not cover the surgery so I was self pay.

I had told a couple people that I was going to have surgery and of course they were negative about it. It only took that and I kept my mouth shut after that. Then after surgery once everybody was wondering what I was doing or how I was losing the weight I told them. I just didn't want to hear all the BS before the surgery. Surgery was the best thing I have ever did.

I will be using Dr. Hamilton Lee at Integris Hospital in OKC. They have a great program and I really like him. I should be having surgery in the next few weeks if all goes well.

I'm from Oklahoma, but I have state insurance (Health Choice) and they wouldn't cover my surgery, so I went to Mexico in March and had my surgery with Dr. Garcia for $5,200. I'm three months out, and so far, everything's great.

Dr. Broussard did my sleeve 6/11/13 I'm 25 lbs down and Dr. B and the staff are great. Gives you personal calls and everything. I was self pay but it was so worth it. I drove from Tulsa to see him.

Do you know if health choice will cover complications or follow up visits? I'm a state employee too and that's my insurance. I was sleeved July 1st in Mexico.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
